Assisting Refugees

The Order throughout Queensland has been involved in supporting and assisting refugees in a range of community settings. The most significant public involvement has been initiated through the work of the Townsville Branches who have advocated very strongly for a parishioner who was a refugee convert. A Petition was organised and circulated nationally. As part of the Australian KSC National Refugee Project a number of Branches have continued to make contact with refugees residing in their parish areas to provide support and assistance. The Order has also been involved in responding to the Bishops call for assistance in resettling the Syrian refugees.
